VIDEO: “Old man” monkeys of the Amazon

Among the exotic residents of the Pilpintuwasi Butterfly Farm near the tiny Peruvian village of Padre Cocha is a pair of red bald-headed uakaris, primates with a thick shag of coarse red hair everywhere — except on their softball-size pink heads.

The uakaris aren’t technically still residents of the farm, which also serves as the Amazon Animal Orphanage, but they hang around just the same, soaking up attention and stealing the odd gas container from the Amazon river taxis.

Here’s a quick look at these monkeys, which can only be found in the Amazon Basin of Brazil and Peru. Find more travel and gear review videos at the Bad Latitude TV channel on YouTube.
